Odd for a Sunday....

Post by Flyingmonster » Sun Jan 02, 2011 11:51 am

My friend who lives in St Andrews has just txt me saying that he heard something Jet wise take of from the base. Possible QRA in progress? I know the facts are a wee bit lacking but seem odd for a Sunday! :unsure:
Cheers

Making up for lost time perhaps with the Snow, then Christmas followed by New Year? I don't know - perhaps.
